I would have to say Oracle from the cover of Nexus.It just looks real mean and cool.Nine Breakers Neo9-Ball Is second on the list.(If your wondering, I got the names from AConline's boards. Some of the guys there were throwing them around, it was kinda dangerous)

I always liked the look of the cover AC on AC2, I just think the pose and angle looks bad-ass. I also like the Nexus one a lot. While I like the one on Nine Breaker, I think it's still not original because it has been done before, although it looks awesome.

There is a little thing called perspective that you have to take into account there Chessewarfare.The cover of AA is set up like real life pic.The AC is pointing the gun at you, as a result of starring down the barrel of a very large weapon, the front of the gun appears to be larger than the back of the gun. The same goes with the mountains sort of.The mountains, are in the background and probably a good 1000 feet (around 294.2 meters) away, so as a result, perspective, makes them look much smaller than they realy are. Plus, they may not even be mountains to begin with.The rule of perspective-Forground objects (whats in front) look realy big, background objects (whats in the very back) look really small.Besides, from actually playing the game you can see that an AC is about 4 or 5 stories tall so there probably about 61 feet (or 18 meters) in height.But, back to the subject of cover, the Frighteners Agent from AC2 is pretty sweet. Mabye if it wasn't just standing there and it was actually doing something or at least standing over some wreckage, then it would be better.

I agree, the perspective is something to be considered, but I think that the angle on the AA case was really well done, which makes it one of my favorites.

I agree the AC2 one is a bit bland, but I really like the pose the AC takes on, when I saw the game in the show for the first time, when I didn't have a PS2, I just stared at the AC because it looked so cool.

well how about whats my unfavourite cover? whihc I will say is armoured core MOA

the secound ac fighting nine ball is completly flawed (the blue one in the intro with resembles the ac on the front cover of ac2). for one thing the ac is missing on of the essencial parts of its design the infamous kawasawa (ahh the good old days lol) not to mention that the core and head are completly wrong and are parts which resembles that of nine-balls. also if ya very perceptive you can see faintly that the back of theflawed ac's core is really high up and sort of curves up at the end, where the nine ball core is completely flat.

my favourite one I would have to say either ac1 or nine breaker, I dont know why about ac 1 but its mainly cause it looks really active, like its ready to pounce at any moment, no more like some thing is infront of it and its aiming at it

The cover AC from AC1 (Ernst/Phoenix) is the epitome of the type of AC design that I like. Mid-weight, balanced, one heavy firepower weapon, the then-awesome multi missles, and a healthy 1000 shot machine gun. It looked natural and cool. Sure the intro is clearly inferior compared to the later ones, but when it comes to AC design, that one best fits my design philosphoy (which unfortunatly has been largely dashed by the lack of OP-I/PLUS)
